Hotel Weissenstein 

Responsible on all levels

Photovoltaics, regional cuisine, inclusive employment – impact here is created across all levels: social, ecological, and economic.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The hotel’s young leadership team actively promotes social integration. Through a partnership with the Regiomech Solothurn cooperative, people with disabilities and young adults in difficult life situations are offered meaningful work – fully embedded in the team, not relegated to the sidelines.

DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE REGION
As a retreat, destination, and meeting place, the hotel cooperates with local suppliers – fresh, direct, and nearby. Its close relationship with the Thal Nature Park and support of the bison reintroduction project reinforce the connection to place. Vegetables and herbs come from the in-house garden; from 2025, bees will produce the hotel’s own honey.

SMART ENERGY, REAL IMPACT
Electricity is supplied by a modern photovoltaic system, heat comes from a sustainable woodchip heating unit powered by regional forestry. LED lighting is used throughout, cleaning products are eco-friendly, and linens are changed only upon request. Responsibility lives in the details.

MORE THAN GOOD INTENTIONS
With ibex fairstay and Swissstainable Level III certification, the hotel’s commitment is officially recognized. But what truly matters is the daily impact – felt by guests, the region, and the natural environment.

Framework program

Activities that combine nature, movement, and learning – all closely connected to the local setting and guided by experts.
